And now, because I love you....

My absolute favourite Film Board of Canada short, the video for Daniel Lavoie's "Jours de Plaine":

Since most of you don't speak French, it's a song about his growing up in the Prairies in "my mother's language" that "dances", and about the colours of the wheat and the earth as the seasons change.

The part that always makes me cry:

Y'a des nuits de plaine,
ou y'a trop de lune, trop d'étoiles,
et le ciel est trop claire...

There are prairie nights,
when there is too much moon, too many stars,
and the sky is too clear...

Thanks...

I haven't actually watched it because I will start crying from homesickness.
